Using Word XP for labels, but there are no lines. Help.

[Tom Csanadi]

I have a customer who is using word 2002, When she goes to print labels,
she picks her label, then she picks new document, the lines that show the
layout of the labels are not there anymore. Does anyone know how to turn
this feature back on. I can go into borders and shading and put some lines
in but it doesn't default the next time you go in to create labels.

Use Avery Design Pro instead. It's a free standalone product available from
www.avery.com . There is also a for purchase version with more advanced
features mainly in the area of database mgmt, IIRC.

Hi Tom,

When Word creates a new label document it's creating a Word table composed of the appropriately sized 'label cells'. In the Table
menu turn on the Gridline view option or in Tools=>Options=>View turn on the [x] Text Boundaries setting to see the edges of the
label (they don't print).
